Prove him wrong and drive my motorcycle into a highway median at top speed 5 minutes later. I’ll be god dammed if I’m gonna let some doctor think he got the better of me.

Probably play some Shotgun Mario and Luigi…

31 days of perfect health and then drop dead? Or 31 days of slow, debilitating, crushing agony and pain and then death? I just lost my best friend to perotineal cancer, from diagnosis to her passing was 97 days. She made plans to travel with her daughter, spend time with friends, write a will, etc. but she ended up spending a majority of that time in the hospital on heavy duty narcotics and offer her nut because of them. I don’t think anyone would plan on spending their last 31 days like that but it’s more realistic.

Tldr: do the things you would do with news like this now… Don’t wait until it might be impossible.

Sign up for all of the one-month free trials.

Get into the plumbing business

Get another opinion.

Ask my wife to take the month off, or quit her job, then spend 25 days doing whatever she wants. The last week we can spend with my family.

• Set up my will.
• Dispose of the accumulated cruft.
• Get the house ready to sell.
• Document all my accounts.
• Move money as appropriate.
• Provide for preservation/distribution of my genealogy research.
• Work to prepare my friends and family for life without me.

It’s a great thought experiment to get us to think about what is truly important -

No one is going to answer “work more” or “continue to conform to other’s expectations of me.” or any other thing that we are taught to believe are important.

Sure having some savings is important, your health is important (except maybe not so much in this instance), but really life is about experiencing life not creating shareholder value or working hard to blend into the crowd just to make other people less uncomfortable.

I know I went off on a tangent, I do that often. But I’ve been thinking more about how in the west we are taught aggressively from a young age what is deemed important (work, money, prestige, name brand things, etc) and what is frivolous (hobbies, family, friends, etc) and then people wonder why life sucks. It doesn’t suck, it’s that you are trying to conform to something that goes against your true nature.

To answer the question: travel, spend time with people I love, play video games, eat more cheeseburgers, drink more beer.

Wouldn’t be too bad all things considered, all signs point to Silksong releasing on the 14th, so I’ll have a couple weeks to play it

Family. That’s all. Use the remainder of my money to help fulfill some bucket list items for my parents, wife, siblings, and my kids. Try to write as much as I can and record as much as I can for my kids. Impart any wisdom I possibly can.

Travel - not so extravagant to put my family in debt after I pass but I’ve got a decent retirement fund and I have no qualms about spending a portion of it if I’m not going to need it to support me in the long term.

I’d probably fly into someplace random in Europe and just soak up different towns by train heading wherever the fuck my ADHD brain tells me to go next. It’d be wonderful.

Also, sex it up like I’m not going to be alive in 32 days.

Edit: Oh, I’d probably make sure to get a second opinion first.

Spend time with my dog. Call mum daily. Party with friends, all on me.

spend time doing what I like to do and enjoying the company of the people I love. play games, play magic, listen to music getting high… nights in the pool, just watching the moon reflection on the water…
